'Jaffa' Review: Insane Comedy Published Date : 28-Mar-2013 22:00:00 GMT Rating: 1.5/5 Banner: Kiran Studios Cast: Brahmanandam, Vennela Kishore, Ali, Sravan, Harish Koyalagundla, Venu, Dhanraj, Melkoti, Ahuti Prasad, Raghu Babu, Fish Venkat and others Music: Anoop Rubens Cinematographer: Raja Editor: Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao Story, screenplay, direction: Vennela Kishore Producer: Ramesh Varma Release date: 29/03/2013 Brahmanandam who rules the roost in comedy has now arrivedas a hero once again after a longhiatus. He has teamed up with Vennela Kishore for this one. Letus see whether this attempt was successful. Story Jasmine Falguda (Brahmi) shortly known as Jaffa has become a sought after convict but in reality he happens to be a software engineer who has a sadistic boss (Melkoti). Few unexpected events land him in jail and with his brainy ideas, Jaffa becomes famous in the jail.Even the jailer Nikki (Vennela Kishore) takes suggestions and tips from Jaffa to solve his problems. One incident puts Nikki in troubleand Jaffa decides to help him outwith an escape plan. Whether that works or not forms the rest of the tale. Performances: Brahmanandam is a high potential actor and he has shownhis versatility in every way possible. Despite his age and image, he still has the ability to carry a film on his shoulders. Vennela Kishore was natural andmore spontaneous. His strength lies in his timing and dialogue delivery. Though his role was lacking depth he gave it enough energy to withstand. Ali was alright, Sravan was standard, Dhanraj was good, Melkoti was moderate, Venu wasupto the mark, Harish did his bit as required, Ahuti Prasad came and went, Raghu Babu was confusing. Highlights: *. Brahmanandam Drawbacks: *. Second half *. Screenplay *. Dragged scenes *. Weak energy
